Best Fishes!

Hello and happy Monday! I hope you all are having a great start to your week! Today I'm sharing a fun family Christmas scene that I hope you'll love.


 To create this card, I started by stamping images out from Lawn Fawn stamp sets Beary Happy Holidays, Lovable Legends, Snow Cool, Mermaid For You, and Christmas Dreams on white cardstock. Most of the images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, but I stamped the trees in Distress Ink Cracked Pistachio. I colored and cut out the images.

For the background, I measured three pieces of white cardstock at 4X6 inches. With the first piece, I die cut the mountains with Lawn Cut Stitched Mountain Borders. On another piece, I cut out the hill using Stitched Hillside Borders. I also cut the bottom off to leave space for the water. With the last 4X6 white cardstock piece, I ink blended Distress Ink Shaded Lilac to create a soft purple sky. I used Distress Ink Pumice stone to ink the mountains but leaving the bottom alone. Then using Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon, I inked the bottom edge of the cardstock.

I assembled my background using a tape runner. When adhering the hillside to the scene, I just wanted to make sure to leave enough room for the ice to be floating in the water. After my background was finished, I added the images using my Lawn Fawn glue tube. My scene was then matted to some black cardstock and adhered to my card face! To add those finishing touches, I also put a few gel pen accents here and there.


I hope you all enjoyed my first Christmas card of the season! You can find a bunch of the wonderful products I used today at the Butterfly Reflections Ink Shop! You can also find more of my creations on Instagram @CaveWomanCreations. I'll be back next week with some more holiday fun. Until then, I wish you all a wonderful week.

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my  We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool  for the first time and loved it! I cut my own  Tim Holtz watercolor paper  to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer.  I stamped my sentiments that are by  Lawn Fawn Hello Baby  with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral  Distress Inks  and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron  Distress Inks .  I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things  Snuggle Bunnies  for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello!  Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog .  It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink!   Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards.  What do I mean, you wonder?  Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color.     For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks.  You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color.   I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon  creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink  and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products .   First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set .   I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored.   I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush .  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
